Iam new to ipfire software.Want to access internal web server on 192.168.1..2 from internet access using 8080 port. How to configure this using webgui of ipfire?Iam able to do it using iptables from cli. Is it easier to enable this access from web gui?
First welcome to IPFire and its community!
For internal access you don’t need any IPTables rules. All devices in the local network can communicate without restrictions.
Just type 192.168.1.2:8080 into your browser.
For access from BLUE to GREEN, you have to add some ‘standard rules’ ( see www.ipfire.org - Creating a Blue to Green Pinhole ).

Thank you Bernhard .Sir,I wanted access from outside red zone (internet) to internal LAN http server from port 8080.
that’s it
I think I have got the solution which i have configured.Thank you
Firewall → Firewall Rules
Add a new rule :
Source : Standard Network : Any
Nat : Check use Network Adress Translation (NAT)
Check Destination NAT let Firewall -Automatic-
Destination : Destination address (IP address or Network) : 192.168.1.2
Protocol : TCP Destination port : 8080
Apply Changes
Thats all
If I am understanding you correctly, you want to access IPFire web UI remotely (from outside of your network). This is not a secure practice. I would set up an OpenVPN roadwarrior connection, connect via VPN, then you should be able to access the web UI from your browser as if you were onsite.
